Coconut Cake with Raspberry Filling & Coconut Buttercream Frosting
This was the cake I made for my little Mother’s Day get-together. I didn’t do well in planning the photographs of this cake. I was to caught up in playing […]
Ore-Ida Extra Crispy

Creamer VS Creamer
My Three “Regulars” By far my most drunk (or is it drank?) flavor of creamer is Vanilla. Of the two brands ID French Vanilla is definitely my preference. I find […]

Peanut Butter Cereals
I am not a huge fan of cold cereals but if pressed for a favorite it would have to be Peanut Butter Crunch. I’ve tried a lot of peanut butter […]
Chili Rellenos
My first post of the new year! This is a family favorite… in fact its pretty much a favorite of everyone who I’ve ever know to tried them. I remember […]
Overnight Cinnamon Rolls
These totally homemade cinnamon rolls are really easy to make and a whole lot nicer than the “canned” ones! I use a breadmaker to do the bulk of the hard […]
Chicken Curry I
I am a woman of many chicken curries! This particular chicken curry is sort of like butter chicken, except it isn’t butter chicken, so I’m not calling it butter chicken. […]
Stash Teas
I know I sang the praises of Red Rose Tea and professed my love for Bigelow’s Constant Comment Tea back in April but that was before I discovered Stash Teas! At […]
Our Second Chanceiversary

Fudge Brownies
I like my brownies fudgy. Don’t get me wrong, I’d eat a cake brownie, especially a frosted cake brownie, I wouldn’t even complain… but I’d be thinking about fudgy brownies […]
Diner Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing
I used to love going out to eat at diners but these days I’m flat out disappointed with diner food. It seems there are no decent diners left, the chains […]
SACO Buttermilk Powder
HUGE thumbs up for this stuff! I’m a little embarrassed that until earlier this year I had no idea this stuff even existed. For as long as I can remember […]
Lemon Meringue Cupcakes
These gorgeous cupcakes are a little messy to eat and a bit fiddly to make but totally worth the effort! They are not huge on fat but they are not […]
Strawberry Jam
I remember when it was ok for kids to have PB&J sandwiches for lunch at school and I find it hard to imagine my school years without them. Though I […]

Mountain Bundt
I can’t be the only one who thinks the word bundt is funny? I also think it sounds a bit naughty too. I once made a grown man blush by […]
Healthyish Banana Bread
This is a slightly adapted version of the King Arthur Flour “Heavenly Healthy Banana Bread” recipe. It’s not gimmicky, it doesn’t have rare special or hard to find ingredients and […]
Alex’s Popsicles
My granddaughter is lactose intolerant. It means supplements taken before eating dairy, or buying special products for her that generally cost way more then they should. Either way, she tends […]
